The Woman, the Cat and the Trash Can

A middle-aged woman caught on camera dumping a cat into a trash can is being offered police protection as thousands join a Facebook group protesting against her actions.

PCSOs are on duty outside the Mrs Mary Bale's home 'to ensure public order is maintained' after she was filmed stroking the tabby along a suburban street.
The woman - a bank worker from Rugby who has been interviewed by police - is then seen grabbing the cat, called Lola, by the scruff of her neck and throwing her into the green bin before slamming the lid shut.

Lola's owner Stephanie Mann, 24, said: "I can't believe the reaction to the story. I only posted it on Facebook because I wanted to see who she was.

"Whatever she has done, I don't like her, but I don't want her to get hurt."

Mrs Mann and her husband Daryll said they did not expect the reaction that occurred after they posted the footage from outside their home in the Stoke area of Coventry.

The cat, which was trapped for 15 hours, emerged unscathed but the footage posted on social networking site Facebook provoked viewer outrage.

'Facebook Bigamist': The Update

The course to true love is never runs smooth.

If you remember from a previous post Lynn France, said she only found out her husband had married another woman when she saw photos of their 2008 fairytale Disney wedding on Facebook. In photos, John can be seen wearing a Prince Charming costume at the altar.

John France denies his first wife's allegation that she learned of his second marriage on Facebook is "completely absurd."

The accused "Facebook bigamist" defended his actions by charging that his first marriage to Lynn France, 41, whom he wed in 2005 on Italy's Amalfi Coast, was never legally valid.

"I was not carrying on a double life," France, 63, said in an interview with NBC's "Today" this morning, with his new wife, 25-year-old Amanda Weisal France, by his side.

But Lynn France, claims that after the marriage she and her husband reconciled. Unfortunately love was not in the air and he took the couple's two young sons to live with him and his new wife in Florida against her will. She said she has not seen the kids for weeks -- except for in photos on Amanda's Facebook page.

"Now, that's the only way I see my children" -- on Facebook, Lynn France told the St. Petersburg Times Wednesday. "It's just surreal."

John France said his previous wife is free to see the children anytime she likes and said he'd offered to buy her a plane ticket to Florida to visit. He is seeking "majority custody" of the two boys.

"We feel that the kids are more stable, comfortable, and secure and safe with me," he told NBC. But he stopped short of calling Lynn an unfit mother today. "Lynn has a history," he said, but "I'm not going to badmouth the children's mother on national TV."

Geee John do you think it might be more stable for your kids to live in the home of a man who actually divorced his wife before he took up with and MARRIED a new woman. You see if John didn't really think he was married then why did he use her as a tax deduction and put her on his insurance?

Amanda Weisal France may want to take a good look at Prince Charming because he certainly doesn't seem to have a good track record with fidelity. The true victims of all of this nonsense are the children.

Want to support Lynn France there is a Facebook page set up to do just that.

Don't Post Wedding Photos If You Are Married To Someone Else

Note to self: If I meet some hot Marine or Sailor and run off to marry him without dealing with that whole messy divorce thing with current husband, DON'T post wedding photos of new husband on Facebook. Remember things posted on the internet are NOT SECRET.

In a couple of weeks I will be telling my students about internet safety and the lack of privacy on the net. My students roll their eyes because they know best but you'd be surprised at the number of people who have no earthly clue that employers routinely check people's Facebook and MySpace pages.

So it's best NOT to post photos of you smoking pot during a wet tee shirt contest or tweet, "I need me some more meth."

Sadly no one told this Cassanova to keep his "other wife" off the net.

Lynn's wedding took place in Italy in 2005, and by 2008, the couple had two children and a home in a Cleveland suburb. As a businessman with his own plane, Megan's husband traveled a lot around the country and across the world.

The wife became suspicious her husband claimed to have been in China and even brought back gifts for the kids yet his passport had been at home the entire time.

She logged on recently to a facebook account of a woman who seemed to be spending a great deal of time with her husband and saw photos from her husband's wedding with his second wife The only problem, of course was that SHE was still married to Mr. Skank businessman.

It's rubbing that salt into the wound of already finding out that my husband's having an affair," Lynn said. "The pictures are out there for the world to see. It's not just that I have the knowledge, but I see the proof and everyone I know sees the proof and people I don't know see the proof."

"If they're going to have the affair, they're going to have the affair," she said. "But it's extra. It adds impact to the hurt, when they're posting the things they post about the affair. Pictures of the vacations they're taking with the other, the lover, the extra person. (Facebook posts) just cause a whole new hurt."

Susan Powell Is Still Missing

Friends and family of a 28-year-old mother who disappeared nearly a week ago are fasting and praying for her safe return as volunteers post thousands of fliers with her image on it. In addition they have set up a Facebook Account in hopes it will help to locate this missing mom.

About 30 detectives have been assigned to find out what happened to Susan Powell. West Valley City Police Capt. Tom McLachlan says police haven't been able to verify Josh Powell's story because snow had covered the spot along The Pony Express Trail where he said he took the children. It is the snow itself that's impeding the search for Susan Powell.

Please, if you have any information about this case contact the West Valley Police Department at 801-840-4000.
